Reciprocal Borrowers

Barbour Library welcomes students and faculty from our reciprocal borrowing partner institutions (see below). Visitors from these institutions can receive limited borrowing privileges at Barbour Library. Requests for borrowing privileges must be made in-person at the Circulation Desk. A completed and signed Reciprocal Borrower Form, Drivers License, and valid campus, university, or institution ID is required.

All library policies and campus rules must be followed. A reciprocal borrowing card will be issued and is to be retained and used by the specified borrower only.
See above for Borrowing Periods, Item, and Fines information.

Library staff reserves the right to reject or revoke borrowing privileges at any time for any legitimate reason. These policies are revisited regularly and may be updated without notification.

The product of two centuries of development, the Clifford E. Barbour Library houses the combined collections of several theological schools in the Pittsburgh area dating to 1794. This important resource for both church and academy represents the largest theological library in the tri-state area and is a "theological treasure" central to the academic mission of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
